    Visual Effects Notes…

    I came across some of my old notebooks that I used to keep track of shot tasks and notes while working at Frantic Films. I guess I threw out the majority of them, but I kept notes for Superman Returns, Across The Universe, Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, and A-Team.

    Space Model Composite!

    I finally got around to compositing this latest image from a photo-shoot that took place last winter. I had the idea for this one in my head for quite a while, but I never could find the right image to blend in with the model.

They were then bought out by Metatools (which is now called Viewpoint), and Infini-D was rolled into (or just killed by) Carrara which is now owned by eovia.
